I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 74: Rejected

"They’re Wandering Beasts."

Sensing the scent on Qiao Xixi and the cubs, the beastmen quickly and warily backed away to one side.

But when they felt the pressure that Sunxiao and Jin Ling deliberately released, they knew better than to speak and kept their mouths shut.

Soon, more and more beastmen were crossing the river.

However, none of them left after reaching the bank. Instead, they found a spot far away from Qiao Xixi’s group and waited.

They didn’t look over until the last one, a male elephant beastman, jumped down.

The male elephant beastman glanced at Qiao Xixi’s group, then strode over to the other beastmen.

"Clan Leader, we’ve finally crossed the river. Does this mean we’re close to the Silver Tribe?"

Bai Lei nodded.

"That’s right. Let’s set off at once so we can get to the Silver Tribe as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Bai Lei appointed two male beastmen to lead the way, while he followed at the rear of the group.

Before leaving, Bai Lei glanced at Qiao Xixi one last time but ultimately said nothing and turned to leave.

Sunxiao said to Qiao Xixi, "I’ll go follow them and see."

Qiao Xixi nodded.

When Bai Lei saw Sunxiao following, he immediately grew wary.

He could sense Sunxiao’s power and didn’t know what he wanted.

But Sunxiao stopped after following for a short distance. Bai Lei glanced back several times, and only after confirming that Sunxiao was no longer behind him did he quicken his pace and leave.

By then, Sunxiao had already returned to Qiao Xixi’s side.

"They’ve gone far."

"Okay."

Qiao Xixi walked up to the Long-tongued Vine and stroked it gently.

"Thank you, Long-tongued Vine. You can change back now."

The Long-tongued Vine’s tendrils twisted, and the extended vines rapidly retracted.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous vine bridge transformed into a fist-sized fruit.

Qiao Xixi quickly stored the fruit back in her space.

"We should get going too."

This time, Jin Ling transformed into his beast form to clear the path ahead.

Qiao Xixi and the cubs rode on Sunxiao’s back.

After crossing the river, Xiao Yao plotted a new, faster route to the Silver Tribe’s territory for them.

Not long after Qiao Xixi’s group left, a male Deer Beast returned to the spot where they had crossed the river.

When he saw that the massive vine bridge was gone, he froze in shock.

Shaking himself out of it, he didn’t dare to delay and hurried to catch up with his group.

"Clan Leader! Clan Leader!"

Bai Lei stopped and looked at the male Deer Beast.

"What’s with all the panic?"

Gelin panted, "I went back to check on the Wandering Beasts’ tracks, and I found... I found that the vine bridge is gone."

Bai Lei was also stunned.

’How could such a huge bridge just disappear like that?’

"Are you sure you went to the right place?"

"I’m sure. The female Wandering Beast also left with her beastman mates."

Bai Lei frowned.

His tribe had actually reached the other side of the river two days ago, but they hadn’t been able to find a way to cross.

Today, they had gone back to the riverbank just to try their luck and happened to see the vine bridge.

However, the bridge’s appearance had been very strange, and now its disappearance was strange too.

’Could this have something to do with that female Wandering Beast?’

Bai Lei shook his head. ’No matter. We’ve crossed the river. The most important thing now is to get to the Silver Tribe.’

"Don’t tell anyone what you saw. For now, we head to the Silver Tribe."

"Understood."

...

Qiao Xixi discovered that the closer they got to the Silver Tribe, the more prey there was to hunt.

Xiao Yao had said the resources here were more abundant, and it was absolutely true.

"Host, once you pass through the canyon ahead, you’ll be able to see the Silver Tribe."

Qiao Xixi looked up at the canyon before them, which looked as if it had been split open by the heavens.

She couldn’t help but marvel at how magnificent the natural scenery of the beast world was.

Because the surrounding environment had improved, the cubs became more energetic.

They all jumped off Jin Ling’s back and scampered ahead.

Qiao Xixi craned her neck, worried.

"Be careful! Don’t run too far!"

Jin Ling hurried after them. "Don’t worry, Xixi. I’ll stay with the cubs."

Sunxiao’s long tail steadied Qiao Xixi on his back.

"Sit tight. Don’t fall off."

Qiao Xixi quickly hugged Sunxiao and smiled. "Sunxiao, you seem so cold on the outside, but you’re actually very thoughtful."

Sunxiao turned his massive serpent head to look at her, his forked tongue lightly flicking across her face.

"Mmm."

"You like me this way?"

Qiao Xixi wiped the saliva from her face, pushed his large head away, and blinked.

"I guess so."

His serpentine eyes narrowed dangerously.

"You guess?"

Qiao Xixi grinned. "Actually, I like you when you’re cold and icy, too."

The serpent’s head lifted slightly, a clear sign of his pleasure.

’His little female certainly knew how to make him happy.’

"Mama, come quick! We can see the Silver Tribe!"

Sunxiao carried Qiao Xixi through the canyon.

The three cubs stood on the cliff’s edge, dancing with joy.

"Mama, look! The big male said the Silver Tribe is just ahead."

Qiao Xixi followed Qiao Ang’s pointed finger and could clearly see a large tribal settlement nestled at the foot of the cliff.

"It’s still early. Let’s go down and take a look."

Jin Ling had the three cubs climb back onto his back.

There was a path leading straight down from the cliff. It was clearly well-worn, indicating that the beastmen from the tribe used it regularly.

They arrived outside the Silver Tribe before nightfall.

From the outside, the towering stone gate was even more impressive than Demon Beast City’s, and this was just a large, mid-sized tribe.

Outside the gate stood nearly ten tall, male beastmen.

When they saw Qiao Xixi’s group approaching, they looked over with caution.

A male Horse Beast walked over.

His expression flickered when he smelled the scent of the Exile Flower on Qiao Xixi, but then he noticed the faint halo on her forehead and was greatly surprised.

"You’re a Wandering Beast. Why are you a Priest?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t mind his directness.

"I may be a Wandering Beast, but I lived in a tribe before. I became a Priest because of my outstanding abilities."

The male Horse Beast nodded. "What are you doing here?"

Jin Ling said, "We’d like to stay in the tribe for a while."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jin Ling finished speaking, the male Horse Beast shook his head.

"You should leave. Our tribe isn’t accepting any outsiders right now."

Although she had been prepared for this, Qiao Xixi was still a little disappointed by the rejection.

"May we know why?"

The male Horse Beast shook his head.

Sunxiao spoke coolly.

"I wish to see your Clan Leader."

The male Horse Beast glanced at Sunxiao and froze for a moment.

"You’re... Sunxiao?"

"I am."

"The Clan Leader took the Hunting Team out to hunt. He won’t be back for several days. You should come back then."

Sunxiao nodded and said to Qiao Xixi, "Let’s find a place to stay for now."

"Okay."

The male Horse Beast frowned as he watched Sunxiao’s retreating back.

’I can’t believe he dared to come back.’
